For future reference...

. As far as the cam sync for sequential injection, I used the Price Motorsports option, but you can combine parts from a 3.8L V6 (Windstar van or similar) and the Explorer 5.0 cam sync. You need the housing from the 5.0 and the shaft from the 3.8 for the 351W. The 351W cam sync will also fit 351C, 351M, and 400M engines too.

You definitely want to have a press handy to be able to do it easily. But yes other than that it's a direct drop in. The 5.0 and 5.8 blocks are the same in the distributor area. Common misconception is that the 5.8 needs a longer shaft because of the taller deck height. This is not the case. The 5.8 just happens to have a larger pump drive hex.

@Boosted92LX I added more info here

Are you planning on running sequential injection? I know our system is setup for semi-sequential, may need to mod the ms for sequential.

This will however with cop, open up a lot more options for tuning.

Oh can you copy that info over to the ms help thread? That way it's consolidated.

Nah, just batch for now. I'm gonna try and keep things as simple as possible for the sake of getting it running

Oh crap......I was 24 when ford made mine......, oh well, at least @madmike1157 is way older than me!
So, just how old IS @jrichker anyhow? @Noobz347 sounds like he may have a couple years under his belt as well.

70 to be exact...

70 is a good age, I remember my father telling me at that age that getting speeding tickets were just the price you pay for driving a mustang properly.
Other than that, He was an intelligent fella like you seem to be.

Me too.
First thing I did when I got the keys to my first "solo" drive was to see how fast I could go on a back road. Floored it to 75 and thought I was flying! Lol. Month later had first accident on a gravel country road and took out a farmers fence. Had to walk to farmers house and use his phone to call my dad. Stupid kid! And boy oh boy was that a long walk to make that call. Didn't get to drive for about 3 months and worked all the next summer to pay for the damages. Bought my first mustang in 89'

Oh......My......Gawd! Wipe that frowny emoji face off there. Being in my thirties and doing what I'm doing now would've been the greatest thing! Truthfully, it's pretty great in my fifties as well.

 

[a91what]

Ha yer all older than me!

27 years of wisdom here........
